London 伦敦 „Prime minister, the empire preparation starts the war to Holy Roman Empire , authorized after the parliament?” “首相阁下,帝国准备向神圣罗马帝国发起战争,经过议会批准了么？” „Prime minister does, why want to provoke this war? What can we obtain?” “首相阁下,为什么要挑起这场战争？我们能够获得什么？” „Did prime minister, the empire prepare? Our odds of success high?” “首相阁下,帝国准备好了么？我们的胜算有多高？” ...... …… A sleep/felt wakes up, but also blurry Prime Minister Campbell, just went out encounters the reporter to surround. 一觉醒来,还迷迷糊糊的坎贝尔首相,刚出门就遭到了记者围堵。 Issue of blotting out the sky, crazy sweeps across to him. And the trap of hidden has numerous number, by the vicious experience, Campbell knows that this group of reporters must do the matter. 铺天盖地的问题,疯狂的向他席卷而来。其中隐藏的陷阱更是多不胜数,凭借老辣的经验,坎贝尔知道这帮记者又要搞事情了。 To this group of not good media, so long as there is a flash news to enhance the newspaper sales volume to be good, can hit with Holy Roman as for Britain, was actually unimportant. 对这帮无良媒体来说,只要有大新闻能够提高报纸销量就行了,至于不列颠会不会和神罗打起来,其实并不重要。 Has been used to the repertoire of media, slightly after the stop, Prime Minister Campbell beckons with the hand saying: „ These issues, the government will then hold the special press conference to explain. 早已习惯了媒体的套路,略微停顿之后,坎贝尔首相摆了摆手说道:“这些问题,接下来政府会召开专门的新闻发布会进行解答。 Now I can only tell everyone, the government has not prepared to start the war to Holy Roman Empire , but we do not fear the war. 现在我只能告诉大家,政府并没有准备向神圣罗马帝国发起战争,但是我们也不惧怕战争。 Please everyone do not readily believe rumor that in the market spreads, Great Britain is a peace-loving country, we are willing to safeguard the world peace with the entire world peace-loving country. ” 请大家不要轻信市面上流传的谣言,大不列颠是一个爱好和平的国家,我们愿意和全世界爱好和平的国家一起维护世界和平。” After getting rid of the reporter, Campbell's complexion all of a sudden gloomy. The reporter comes is so quick, obviously some people organize the plan in the back. 摆脱了记者之后,坎贝尔的脸色一下子阴沉了起来。记者来的这么快,明显是有人在背后组织策划。 If not for he responded quickly, deceived promptly, could not do well has gotten sucked into the tight encirclement now. 若不是他反应快,及时糊弄了过去,搞不好现在就已经深陷重围了。 The system of Britain is perfect, in situation that the government in authorizes without the parliament, absolutely does not have the power to launch the war to a great nation. 不列颠的制度已经非常完善了,政府在未经议会批准的情况下,根本就没有权力对一个大国发动战争。 In maintaining the issue of power, the congressmen have not relaxed. As long as spreads a wind sound/rumor, Campbell do not want the auspicious day. 在维护自身权力的问题上,议员们从来都没有放松过。但凡是传出点儿风声,坎贝尔都别想有好日子过。 To the shameless act of competitor, Campbell does not have the energy to condemn. At present the biggest problem is the window paper is pierced, Britain was compelled near the cliff. 对竞争对手的无耻行径,坎贝尔已经没有精力去谴责了。眼下最大的问题是窗户纸被捅破,不列颠被逼到悬崖边上。 „Sneak attack” and „tempts enemy”, that was wants not to need to think. The reporter knows that between Britain and Holy Roman must erupt into the war, that was equal to that the entire world knew. “偷袭”、“诱敌”,那是想都不用想了。记者都知道不列颠和神罗之间要爆发战争,那就等于全世界都知道了。 ...... …… Under filled with fury, Campbell held the emergency cabinet meeting. 在满腔怒火之下,坎贝尔召开了紧急内阁会议。 „ News has leaked out, the public opinion is disadvantageous to us. A while ago, we proposed strengthened the strategic materials reserve, now by the outside world is also thought was the evidence. “消息已经泄露出去了,舆论对我们非常不利。前段时间,我们提出的加强战略物资储备,现在也被外界认为是证据。 The opposition will not let up this opportunity, according to the inherent repertoire, generally first is the reporter, is the congressman interpellates. 反对党不会放过这个机会,按照固有的套路,一般都先是记者,接着就是议员质询。 Without a reasonable explanation, our days will be very then sad. In order to avoid the situation continues to deteriorate, today we must draw up one plan to come. ” 如果没有一个合理的解释,接下来我们的日子会很难过。为了避免局势继续恶化,今天我们必须拿出一套方案来。” Internal fight is in the British politics, an indispensable point. The situation critical is only their experiences, the incumbent party may be unable to feel. 内斗是不列颠政治中,不可或缺的一环。局势危急只是他们的体会,在野党可感受不到。 Different from the Holy Roman senior government officials, crawls carefully upward, the senior government officials reach the sky in a single bound from the election. 不同于神罗政府高层,一步一个脚印往上爬,英国政府高层都是从选举中一步登天。 Even if there are excessively, that still worked as several days of sprayer in the parliament. In the government what has the assignment experience is only a few. 就算是有过度,那也只是在议会中当了几天喷子。在政府中有任职经历的只是少数。 Even if there are has taken office the experience, that is still the gold-plated significance, is higher than the practical significance. Most of the time only enrolls, does not carry out the concrete responsibility. 即便是有过履任经历,那也是镀金意义,高于实际意义。大多数时候都是只挂名,不履行具体职责。 Naturally, this does not mean that the senior government officials were the idiots. Can win in the complex political struggle, emerges from the election, the excellent ability could not have accomplished. 当然,这并不意味着政府高层就是白痴了。能够在复杂政治斗争中获胜,一路从选举中脱颖而出,没有过人的能力是办不到的。 What everyone misses is only the administrative experience, generally speaking after the election, will have the professional team help to spread the related knowledge, the processing government affairs also has the advisory group to be auxiliary. 大家差的只是施政经验,一般来说当选后会有专业团队帮忙普及相关知识,处理政务也有顾问团辅助。 How the effect, looked that the rare and beautiful flowers policy of tenure were many knows. Generally speaking, the personal ability of prime minister is worse, the appetite of interest group is that bigger, at sixes and sevens policy releases are more. 效果怎么样,看在任期间的奇葩政策多不多就知道了。一般来说,首相的个人能力越差,利益集团的胃口就越大,推出的乱七八糟政策就越多。 If learning capability, or has contacted the related knowledge ahead of time, casts off these to flood the advisory group of interest group, similarly does not have the issue. 要是学习能力强,或者是提前就接触过相关知识,甩开这些充斥着利益集团的顾问团,同样也是没有问题的。 As long as is to be potential achievement, must get rid the dependency on the advisory group, jumps out circle that the interest group draws. 但凡是想要有所作为的,都必须摆脱对顾问团的依赖,跳出利益集团画下的圈子。 However, these were the things after election. Ordinary politician out of office time, cannot contact the related knowledge, naturally does not need to consider so many. 不过,这些都是当选后的事情。普通政客在野的时候,根本就接触不到相关知识,自然不需要考虑那么多。 This is also the political family, easier successful reason. Everyone in innate experience, not in a level. 这也是政治世家,更容易成功的原因。大家在先天见识上,就不在一个层面上。 Now is no exception, in most English eyes, the royal navy is all sea is vertically and horizontally invincible, Great Britain is still rising. 现在也不例外,在大多数英国人眼中,皇家海军还是纵横四海所向无敌,大英帝国依旧如日中天。 The rise of Holy Roman Empire truly is a trouble, but also merely troublesome. Has the royal navy, Britain does not fear any enemy. 神圣罗马帝国的崛起确实是一个麻烦,但也仅仅只是麻烦。有皇家海军在,不列颠不怕任何敌人。 ...... Are not in everyone's knowledge range as for the national strength disparity, the industrial disparity and the population disparity deeper level entirely. 至于更深层次的国力差距、工业差距、人口差距……通通都不在大家的知识范围之内。 Has „man of insight” to come out to make the popular science, but the present is the British most magnificent age, everyone immerses in the honor of empire on which the sun never sets, looks but not see the crisis radically. 不是没有“有识之士”出来做科普,怎奈现在是不列颠最辉煌的时代,大家沉浸在日不落帝国的荣光中,对危机根本就视而不见。 The know-nothing parties are dauntless. Was not clear that national strength disparity of both sides, thinks as before Britain is the empire on which the sun never sets that once that roared flamboyant, being a drag on to come the nature not to have the pressure. 无知者无畏。不清楚双方的国力差距,依旧认为不列颠是曾经那个牛逼哄哄的日不落帝国,拖起后腿来自然没压力了。 Foreign minister Adam: „ We arrange the news of war, should not have to leak out, otherwise the opposition has launched an attack, outside so will not be peaceful. 外交大臣亚当:“我们筹备战争的消息,应该没有泄露出去,要不然反对党已经发难了,外面根本就不会这么太平。 From the current situation, some people act according to the current international situation mostly, infers us to with Holy Roman make war. 从目前的事态来看,多半是有人根据目前的国际局势,推断出我们要同神罗开战。 Is the Vienna government perceived that our intention, spread the news intentionally, attempts to disrupt our strategic layouts. 或者是维也纳政府觉察到了我们的意图,故意放出了消息,企图打乱我们的战略布局。 The opposition uses this turning point, adds fuel to the flames in behind with the aid of the strength of media. If really grasped us to plan the evidence of war, they have gone to the parliament to impeach. 反对党只是利用这个契机,借助媒体的力量在后面推波助澜。真要是掌握了我们策划战争的证据,他们早就去议会弹劾了。 In some sense, now this aspect, to us is also a good deed. 某种意义上来说,现在这种局面,对我们来说也是一件好事。 Contradiction empire's with Holy Roman, we can also seize the chance to advocate the Holy Roman deterrence theory directly outwardly, prepares for the following war. 直接将帝国同神罗之间的矛盾明面化,我们也可以趁机宣扬神罗威胁论,为接下来的战争做准备。 So far, Ministry of Foreign Affairs had received the inquiry letters of European many country's, peace written proposal that the Dutch government coordinates to issue. 截止到目前为止,外交部已经收到了欧洲多国的询问函,还有荷兰政府牵头发出的和平倡议书。 Superficially, this is various European countries does not think that this war breaks out, is the reason of deeper level to dreading of Holy Roman Empire ? 表面上来看,这是欧洲各国都不想这场战争爆发,更深层次的原因又何尝不是对神圣罗马帝国的忌惮呢？ Must know that in European in time of war, the Vienna government has hundred responses to a single call, without the flowered big price formed the anti-France coalition. ” 要知道在欧陆战争时期,维也纳政府可是一呼百应,没有花多大代价就组建了反法同盟。” Do not look at Adam to analyze rationally, in fact his heart is also nervous. No matter the news is who lets out, the enemy will have the protection. 别看亚当分析得头头是道,实际上他内心也是慌得不行。不管消息是谁放出去的,敌人都会产生防备。 How originally to flicker the Holy Roman navy main force comes out to worry, now the enemy had the protection, that was hard to realize. 本来就在为怎么忽悠神罗海军主力出来发愁,现在敌人有了防备,那就更难以实现了。 It is not able to make war first causes heavy losses to the Holy Roman navy, their fighting a battle to force a quick decision plans, declared bankruptcy. 无法在开战第一时间重创神罗海军,他们的速战速决计划,就宣告破产了。 Once the war continues, the auspicious day of Britain ended. If nothing else, the European market was does not have thoroughly. 战争一旦持续下去,不列颠的好日子就结束了。别的不说,欧洲市场算是彻底没了。 Had a look at the response of various European countries to know. Everyone opposes both countries to make war, besides worry standing wrong team, what is more important is the worry war continues. 看看欧洲各国的反应就知道了。大家反对两国开战,除了担心站错队外,更重要的还是担心战争持续下去。 From the outside, Holy Roman Empire has the land power advantage, Britain has the thalassocracy advantage, if really hit, for a short time no one can do to anyone. 在外界看来,神圣罗马帝国拥有陆权优势,不列颠则拥有海权优势,真要是打了起来,一时半会儿谁也奈何不了谁。 Holland responded intensely, besides geographical position pit, what was most important was they heavily relies on the sea trade. 荷兰反应最为激烈,除了地理位置坑外,最重要的还是他们严重依赖海上贸易。 Once Britain and Holy Roman war falls into the deeply worried condition, the mutual blockade is inevitable, the sea trade interrupt is inevitable. 一旦不列颠和神罗的战争陷入焦灼状态,互相封锁是必然的,海上贸易中断是必然的。 If the temporary 35 months of friendly match, that are not related, everyone endured also on the past. 要是短暂性的三五个月友谊赛,那还没有关系,大家忍忍也就过去了。 If the war continues for several years, does not need to suspect that Holland and country of Portuguese this serious dependence ultramarine trade, thinks does not collapse difficultly. 要是战争持续个三年五载,不用怀疑荷兰、葡萄牙这种严重依赖海外贸易的国家,想不崩溃都难。 Under this situation, everyone one road may walk, that was helps a side win the war, quickly ended the trade blockade. 在这种背景下,大家都只有一条路可走,那就是帮助一方赢得战争,尽快结束贸易封锁。 Either various European countries follow Britain to mix together, jointly topples Holy Roman ; Either everyone follows the Holy Roman footsteps, goes all out to explode the warship together, turns the royal navy dry/does. 要么欧洲各国一起跟着不列颠混,联合将神罗拉下马;要么大家跟随神罗的脚步,一起拼命爆军舰,干翻皇家海军。 No matter without a doubt, mixes with whom, everyone will lose seriously. Especially Dutch this is very likely to degenerate into the battlefield pain to compel, even if same must lose money with right the person. 毫无疑问,不管是跟谁混,大家都会损失惨重。尤其是荷兰这个极有可能沦为战场的苦逼,就算是跟对了人一样要亏本。 Do not count on that makes up for the loss by the spoils of war, that is pictures of cakes. The front anti-France war is an example, in name everyone attained the large amount of indemnity, the reality is the French government does not have money to pay. 别指望靠战利品弥补损失,那就是一个画饼。前面的反法战争就是一个例子,名义上大家都拿到了巨额赔款,现实却是法兰西政府没钱支付。 Without money does not have money, no matter you have thousand abilities, the method, the French government changes does not disburse money. 没钱就是没钱,甭管你有千般能耐、万般手段,法国政府还是变不出钱来。 Compels like Belgian this pain, if not for sheared land from France after the war, that simply complete wipe-out. 像比利时这个苦逼,若不是战后从法兰西割回了一块土地,那简直就是血本无归。 The mass of small country is limited, the strength cannot support the ambition. Was supposing wants to benefit as the third party in a dispute in British Austria war, besides the Tsar government, on Republic ten thousand li (0.5 km) away. 小国的体量有限,实力支撑不起野心。估摸着想要在英奥战争中渔翁得利的,除了沙皇政府之外,也就万里之外的合众国了。 Do other countries have the ambition to be the same, own stomach is not good, cannot eat greasy food, the meat delivered to the mouth , can only smell the taste. 其它国家有没有野心都一样,自家的肠胃不好,不能吃油腻的食物,肉送到了嘴边,也只能闻闻味。 The foreign minister as Britain, Adam's personal ability is very powerful. What a pity the reality puts at present, no matter what he can flicker, has not grasped draws to oneself. 作为不列颠的外交大臣,亚当的个人能力还是非常强悍的。可惜现实摆在眼前,任他多能忽悠,也没有把握把人都拉到自己这边。 Naturally, they can also imitate the original space and time the flexible diplomatic politics, allowing various countries to remain neutral, and is engaged in the ultramarine trade. 当然,他们也可以效仿原时空的灵活外交策略,允许各国保持中立,并且从事海外贸易。 This needs the opponent to coordinate, if the Vienna government is not convinced, wants a pull people to join a group actually, everyone must choose the camp. 只是这需要对手配合,要是维也纳政府不买账,硬是要拉人入伙,大家还是要必须选择阵营。 Can various European countries shoulder the Holy Roman Empire diplomatic pressure? 欧洲各国能够扛下神圣罗马帝国的外交压力么？ This issue, no one can reply. Theoretically, so long as various European countries stick together the neutrality, the Vienna government also can only hold one's nose to recognize. 这个问题,没有人能够回答。理论上来说,只要欧洲各国一起抱团中立,维也纳政府也只能捏着鼻子认了。 This probability was too but low, is not all countries has this courage. The people are not concerted, so long as there are several national leads to stand the team, remaining can only follow to stand in line. 可是这种几率太低了,不是所有国家都有这份勇气。人心不齐,只要有几个国家带头站了队,剩下的都只能跟着站队。 The situation is dangerous to Britain. Once operate miss, then stands opposite of Britain is not only only Holy Roman Empire , but is the entire European world. 局势对不列颠已经非常危险。一旦操作失误,那么站在不列颠对面就不仅仅只是神圣罗马帝国,而是整个欧洲世界。 First Lord of the Treasury Asquith: „ Knight, various European countries are the people with no mind of his own, their standpoints have not always strengthened. 财政大臣阿斯奎斯:“爵士,欧洲各国都是墙头草,他们的立场从来都不曾坚定过。 Because of the reason of geopolitics, our influence in continental Europe, absolutely does not have the means and Holy Roman Empire compares. 因为地缘政治的缘故,我们在欧洲大陆的影响力,根本就没有办法和神圣罗马帝国比。 The pure dependence political means that we are not necessarily able to fall leeward ; But once the Vienna government adopts the military means that directly poses the threat in force, we were very difficult to compete with them. 纯粹依靠政治手段,我们未必会落入下风;可是维也纳政府一旦采取军事手段,直接进行武力威胁,我们就很难同他们竞争了。 Only if we can win over Russia and Spain, only then their both countries coordinate together, various European countries may withstand the pressure of Vienna government. 除非我们能够拉拢俄国和西班牙,只有他们两国一起牵头,欧洲各国才有可能顶住维也纳政府的压力。 Considering us with the relations of Russia and Spain, I do not think that now can draw them. If can make them remain neutral in the war, that was God blesses. ” 考虑到我们同俄西两国的关系,我不认为现在能够把他们拉过来。若是能够让他们在战争中保持中立,那就是上帝保佑了。” It is not Asquith is pessimistic, was really the front several government extremely pit. Considered only itself to ramble, is too big to the mess that they left behind. 不是阿斯奎斯悲观,实在是前面几届政府太坑了。只顾自己逍遥了,给他们留下的烂摊子太大。 Without the means that the world supremacy in Britain is stepping on the Spanish high-rank. In ten years ago Philippines Campaign, Spain the little brothers by Britain was damaged heavily. 没有办法,不列颠的世界霸权就是踩着西班牙上位的。十年前的菲律宾战役中,西班牙又被不列颠的小弟祸害不轻。 The new hatreds on top of old put together, the dispute of middle also Straits of Gibraltar sovereignty, Spanish government, only if the collective brain water penetration, has the possibility to follow they to mix. 新仇旧恨加在一起,中间还有一个直布罗陀海峡主权之争,西班牙政府除非集体脑子进水,才有可能跟着他们混。 British and Russian relations not to mention, the Indian issue is the hard problem that both sides cannot solve. Present Russo-Japanese War, is above the old enmity adds new hates. 英俄关系更不用说了,印度问题是双方解不开的死结。现在的日俄战争,也是旧仇之上添的新恨。 Even if the Tsar government dreads to Holy Roman extremely, but if makes them lose everything to help brave, that was still not possible. 即便是沙皇政府对神罗忌惮万分,可要是让他们砸锅卖铁援英,那仍然是不可能的。 No one took the lead, was accustomed to various European countries of person with no mind of his own, was naturally impossible to jump and Holy Roman does against. 没有人领头,做惯了墙头草的欧洲各国,自然不可能跳出来和神罗对着干。 Naturally, a Northern European federation can flicker, this also has the strength remains neutral. 当然,还有一个北欧联邦可以忽悠,这位也有实力保持中立。 What a pity this rallying point politically is limited, when the leading big brother, does not dare to go to become this big brother. 可惜这位在政治上的号召力有限,当不了带头大哥,更不敢去当这个大哥。 The European world could not count on, no one is willing to work as the goon at this kind of time, wanted to win the war with Holy Roman, naturally was on difficult to add on. 欧洲世界指望不上,没有人愿意在这种时候当打手,想要赢得同神罗之间战争,自然是难上加上。 ...... …… The war must hit by the military after all, to civil officials' complaint, Campbell can only pretend unable to hear. 战争终归还是要靠军方打的,对文官们的抱怨,坎贝尔只能假装听不见。 The present is point of no return, has to send. The war has the difficulty, is not easy to hit, can not hit? 现在是箭在弦上,不得不发。战争有困难、不好打,难道就能够不打了？ If really the present stops the war footsteps, was supposing the Vienna government wanted Le Feng. Anything should not be dry/does, drags ten years eight years, hegemony to deliver. 真要是现在停下战争脚步,估摸着维也纳政府就要乐疯了。啥都不要干,拖上个十年八年,霸权自己就送上门来了。 „What does naval department have to plan?” “海军部有什么计划？” The strategy is insufficient, the tactic collects. Since the comprehensive national strength cannot spell, that can only make the royal navy erupt , to continue to create the miracle for Britain. 战略不够,战术来凑。既然综合国力拼不过,那就只能让皇家海军爆发,继续为不列颠创造奇迹。 Sees only minister of the navy Swing Dean to take up a music director stick, arrives nearby the world map that is hanging saying: „ Holy Roman Empire navy main force, although withdraws in Mediterranean Sea, but the overseas still had several fleets. 只见海军大臣斯温丁拿起一根指挥棒,走到悬挂的世界地图跟前说道:“神圣罗马帝国的海军主力虽然龟缩在地中海,但是海外仍然有几支分舰队。 Although in these fleets the warship is few, however the tonnage number of fleet is not low, almost occupied 40% of Holy Roman navy gross tons. 虽然这些舰队中主力舰很少,但是舰队的吨位数量却不低,差不多占据了神罗海军总吨位的百分之四十。 In is unable to lure in the situation of enemy main force decisive battle, the naval department plans first to solve the troubles of these overseas. 在无法诱使敌军主力决战的情况下,海军部计划先解决这些海外的麻烦。 Several other fleets are not worth mentioning, is mainly Austria is the Southeast Asia fleet and Central American fleet. Not only there is a dread naught to act as the flagship, other attached warships are the new-style warship are also in the majority. 其它几支舰队都不值得一提,主要是奥属南洋舰队和中美洲舰队。不但有无畏舰充当旗舰,其它附属军舰也是新式军舰居多。 These warships have a common trait- runs quickly. 这些军舰都有一个共同特点-跑得快。 Obviously, enemy this is prepared early. Attempts after the war breaks out, uses these high-speed warships to attack our merchants. 显然,敌人这是早有准备。企图在战争爆发后,利用这些高速军舰袭击我们的商船。 We plan after the war breaks out, immediately begins to attack enemy these two fleets, ahead of time eliminates the trade online threat. 我们计划在战争爆发后,立即动手袭击敌人这两支分舰队,提前消除贸易线上的威胁。 In this aspect Japanese on dry/does good, sneak attacked successfully Spain and Far East empire, as well as Russia, we can definitely imitate. ” 在这方面日本人就干的不错,先后偷袭成功了西班牙、远东帝国、以及俄罗斯,我们完全可以效仿。” The moral integrity does not exist, so long as can win the victory, Swing Dean did not mind that breaks convention one time. 节操是不存在的,只要能够赢得战争胜利,斯温丁不介意打破惯例一次。 The history book is written by the victor in any case, so long as defeated Holy Roman Empire , the behaviors of all bad customs, can be washed white. 反正史书是由胜利者写下的,只要击败了神圣罗马帝国,所有坏规矩的行为,都可以被洗白。 First begins to beat the minute/share of fleet of enemy, always after feeling better and other wars broke out, by the enemy is attacked good of merchant ship. 先动手干掉敌人的分舰队,总好过等战争爆发后,被敌人袭击商船的好。 As royal navy that the pirate builds up, was too familiar with these businesses. Sketchy looked, Swing Dean understood the plan of Vienna government. 作为海盗起家的皇家海军,对这些业务太熟悉不过了。以至于粗略一看,斯温丁就明白了维也纳政府的打算。 If leaves alone, perhaps the war just broke out, the sea trade line of Britain must be seriously battered. 若是放任不管,恐怕战争刚刚爆发,不列颠的海上贸易线就要遭受重创。
